Show Notes

Henry IV is waking in the night screaming, convinced people are throwing fire at him. In truth, they’re throwing shade. Even the clergy are questioning his right to rule. And to silence the whispers, this pious king turns butcher.

This is the story of a monarch unraveling—where paranoia meets power, and faith gives way to fury.
